4 male bodies recovered from ATV crash near Forest Road 300/Rim Road

The bodies of four men apparently killed in a fiery crash of an ATV that went over a cliff have been recovered. Coconino County Sheriff’s officials said a 10-acre fire and rugged terrain made it difficult for rescuers to get to the site of Saturday’s crash near Blue Ridge. The names of the victims were being withheld until relatives can be notified. Authorities said all four men were from the Phoenix area and had been on a camping trip in the Payson area. The Forest Service reported a fire near Forest Road 300 or Rim Road Saturday afternoon, shortly after the men were reported missing. It appears the group failed to negotiate a turn and went down a 400-foot cliff.
